Changing the lithium battery

The lithium battery powers the clock and timer memory when the power is off.

About battery life

Battery life is about 4 to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20°C and with the power off.

When the battery is weak

● Insert the plug into the outlet, the clock shows 7:00 a.m. and keeps blinking.
● The rice cooker can be used normally once you set the time. However, the time on the display will disappear if you unplug the power plug.
● In this case, contact the dealer where you made your purchase or call our customer service department. The lithium battery will be replaced at your expense.

Note

● To avoid causing damage or harm to the rice cooker, do not attempt to replace the lithium battery yourself.

關於鋰電池

● This product is designed only to cook rice and keep it warm. Do not use it for any other purpose.

1. Measure and wash the rice. Add water.

A leveled measure of rice in the enclosed measuring cup is approx. 0.18L in quantity.

The rice may be washed in the inner pan. Any moisture or foreign matter must be completely wiped from the outside of the inner pan.

For example, when you cook 2 cups of rice, wash and drain the rice. Add water into the inner pan up to the scale 2 of "White Rice".

Note

● For best results, measure the rice accurately.
● As the accuracy of different measuring devices may vary, use the provided measuring cup.
● Do not add too much water or the rice cooker will boil over.
● Glutinous/sweet rice should be drained in a strainer for more than 30 minutes after washing.

1. Place the inner pan inside the rice cooker, close the lid and plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

2. 將內鍋放入鍋體內，關上鍋蓋插入插頭。

Note

• If the Rice COOKING/REHEAT key or Keep WARM/RESET key is pressed without the inner pan inside the body of the cooker, the display will turn off and an alarm will start to sound. If this happens, insert and position the inner pan properly in the cooker.
  ● Wipe water and any foreign matter carefully from the top, bottom, and sides of the inner pan, and from the bottom and sides of the heating plate. Otherwise, corrosion may develop, noise may be produced during cooking, and rice may not cook properly.

注意

Make sure the KEEP WARM indicator is off before pressing COOKING. (Otherwise, the REHEAT function will be activated.)

①Press the MENU key.

The display changes with each press of the MENU key.

Choose WHITE/BROWN for brown rice, mixed rice or glutinous rice.

Press the "COOKING/REHEAT" key.

The Cooking light comes on.

During the final steaming process, the remaining time is displayed.

The remaining time differs for each menu selection.

3. 煮飯

※QUICK COOKING is when you want your rice cooked quickly. The rice may sometimes turn out a little harder.

● For best results, do not open the outer lid while cooking.
- When cooking glutinous rice keep the quantity of rice less than 1-2 cups. More than that won't cook properly.

注意

4 For best results, stir and loosen the rice to remove excess steam and create a fluffy texture.

    B --> C["自動轉為保溫、保溫燈點亮。"]

Note

● Depending on cooking conditions, cooked rice may sometimes be somewhat scorched, leaving a brown color on the bottom.
● Because the inner pan has a round bottom, a depression may form at the top of the cooked rice.
- If rice is kept warm without first loosening, it may not be fluffy and tasty.
● To prevent rice from drying, gather any small remaining amounts of rice towards the center of the inner pan.

留意

(Make sure the surface of the rice is level.)

The pure 1 soys now, org the rice has been kept warm

During KEEP WARM, the elapsed KEEP WARM time will be indicated on the display.

● The indication is given in units of hours starting from the end of the cooking cycle.

Keeping rice warm for more than 12 hours tends to cause bad odors, and to dry and change the color of rice. For these reasons, rice kept warm in the cooker should be eaten as soon as possible.

Cautions

● Please empty the water in the dew cup.
● If moisture remains in the dew cup, it may overflow or cause bad odors.

After Use

①Press the KEEP WARM/RESET key.

The KEEP WARM lamp goes off.

●Unplug the power plug.

Note

● Make sure the KEEP WARM indicator is off.
- If the plug is left plugged in, the panel may become warm. There is nothing abnormal about this.
● The KEEP WARM indicator stays on even if the inner pot is removed. Make sure to cancel by pressing the KEEP WARM button.
